Hello all!


i have a question about my glove compartment... here is the thing...

its making squeeeky noises when i go over bumps and stuff on the road... when i press on it while driving, it stops.. have any of you come across this before?

can i fix it myself? how do i go about fixing it? what can be/is wrong with it?
the car is under warranty, do you think i should have that checked out?
if i can fix it myself it would be awesome becasue i dont feel like dealing with the dealership.

thanks for all the help in advance![8D]

 

You could try spraying the hinges with silicone spray. Ventilate well. You said when you hold the door it stops, so I don't think it's the a/c heater vent fan.

 

i was thinking maybe somthing was loose... i will go ahead and spray it though..

 

Mine squeeked also. My problem was the rubber stoppers on the box was not making solid enough contact to hold the box still. I went to home depot and bought a little cork pad that you would put on the bottom of a chair so it doesnt scratch surfaces. Fixed me right up.

 

[8D]awesome.. i will look into it! thanks for the help

 

Mine does the same....right now I have a thick piece of paper shoved in the corner...under the lip so you cant see...I know its ghetto but I was trying to brainstorm a better permenant solution....

The problem seems to be more at the top of the box rather than at the bottom...whats this cork stuff??

I was thinking of putting black weather striping on the top to seal it...but I thought it might show too much..

Let me know what the cork stuff is and how it works out for you

Actually the one I used wasn't cork it was rubber, but same thing essentially. You could probably use these self adhesive felt pads too.

 

[8D]my car was in the dealership today, getting some stuff checked out... i had forgotten to tell them about the squeekyness of the glove compartment but they fixed it anyway.. it doesnt make the sound anymore! [8D]

thanks for all the help!

 

Wow, the dealer fixed something on there own? AMAZING!!!

 

yep, thats what i said! btw.. that dealership is amazing with its customer relations!
the person that i bought the car from was the assistant manager for sales.. he was extremely nice, took his time even stayed AFTER work hours were done to make sure we were satisfied with everything!
not to mention he offered to teach me how to drive stick! hes like call me up when ever you want and ill go out with you so you can learn!
